A Topical Sermon (our normal preaching is expositional)
In light of our sin. Don’t despair. Christ will not let go of His people. He will keep them to the very end. He will sustain His people, and though God may discipline us it is for our good and His glory. He is taking our hopes and desires off of the world and setting them on Himself. Pray that we would be humble and faithful with this authority as a church. Pray that God would be glorified, and that He would strengthen us to run the race before us with perseverance knowing that it is God who preserves us.
